Great instructional video, only problem i'm having is when I went to change my brake pads on my 2018 Q5 the Brembo calipers looked different. These calipers prevent me from simply sliding out the pads from the backside of the caliper. The calipers I have are Brembo but are designed with a closed back preventing the pads from being removed through the rear of the caliper. Also the clips are a bit different. Ive searched several YT vids for a tutorial with no success. Does this particular caliper need to be removed completely? Are you planning on doing a tutorial on this style calipers? Thank you in advance.

@fcpeuro Жыл бұрын

Hi Raider, The 18' model will have a slightly different setup as you saw! Not all Brembo units allow you to service the pads with the calipers still in place, you will have to remove the two bolts that hold them to the knuckle and service them that way. As soon as we get to that model, we will be sure to do a DIY on it!

Hi Pedro, the light can come on and be for either the front or the rear pads. You can do a visual inspection to see if you need to do the front or rears, or scan the car to see the code. From there we recommend you replace both the pads and discs on the worn-down end.

Not when they are coated like these. Non coated rotors come with oil on them in the packaging to prevent rust which should be cleaned off prior to installation.
